The decision that matters
A sandbar outing or a private motor yacht celebration?
The right boat depends on what your guests want to do once they leave the dock. An afternoon around the sandbar and a dressed-up sunset gathering are different experiences—even on the same waterway.

Where Coastal fits
Choose the setting as carefully as the route.
If the occasion calls for a welcoming indoor salon, room to gather and a private Fort Lauderdale cruise, put the Marquis 690 on your shortlist. Coastal’s up-to-20-guest format is particularly relevant when a celebration exceeds smaller yacht listings. Review the real photographs and virtual tour to decide whether the atmosphere matches your plans.

Questions for Lauderdale Charters and Coastal.
Is this quote for a yacht, pontoon or another type of boat?

Lauderdale Charters: comparison FAQs.
Can I compare a pontoon starting price with a yacht package?
Only after matching the experience. Check boat type, trip duration, guest limit, captain charges and amenities. A lower entry price for a different product does not establish better value for your occasion.
How do I request a Coastal Yacht Tours quote?
Share your date, number of guests, preferred duration and occasion through our inquiry form. Ask the team to confirm the meeting point, included services and total price before booking.
